I'll look at it now.

Post by: Yann on September 05, 2014, 03:43:43 PM: My greenhouse is always kept at 4°c because it also hosts Sarracenia that need more than 2°c.
I never lost bulbs by frost but more by watering errors or virus.

Title: Re: Fall Scilla and relatives 2014
Post by: Yann on September 06, 2014, 01:25:23 PM: Scilla autumnalis MS771
Title: Re: Fall Scilla and relatives 2014
Post by: Yann on September 06, 2014, 01:30:04 PM: Scilla lingulata SL263
Title: Re: Fall Scilla and relatives 2014
Post by: Anthony Darby on September 08, 2014, 11:07:19 AM: I have this spring flowerer which came to me as Hyacinthus vimacea, but that's a made up name. I can only think it is Scilla vicentina.
Title: Re: Fall Scilla and relatives 2014
Post by: ashley on September 08, 2014, 11:26:55 AM: Could it be S. verna Anthony?
Title: Re: Fall Scilla and relatives 2014
Post by: Anthony Darby on September 08, 2014, 08:12:46 PM: Could be. I'll take another pic today.
Title: Re: Fall Scilla and relatives 2014
Post by: Anthony Darby on September 09, 2014, 04:28:55 AM: Another possibility is Fessia greilhuberi? Here are two more pics.

Scilla scilloides flowers in the fall but I have no picture available today.
If an experienced grower like you cannot see wether it is a Fessia or a Scilla I wonder what is the meaning in breaking out Fessia???
(I can give a meaning but this is the time of being nice - even to splitters)
Happy new year

Post by: Robert on February 05, 2015, 02:13:39 PM: Arnold,

Scilla maderiensis, very sweet! :)

On your last posting on Narcissus:

Is Nancy Wilson still around? I have not seen her advertisements around for a while.

Post by: ArnoldT on February 05, 2015, 03:06:36 PM: I had a look at her web site and it looked like it wasn't updated in a while.

I usually call when I need to contact her.
